← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when gallium arsenide LED junction gaps decrease?
A)Wavelength decreases (blue shift)✓
B)Thermal runaway in LED junction
C)LED voltage remains constant
D)Radiative recombination stops rapidly
💡 Explanation
Shorter band gaps in GaAs LEDs increase photon energy (blue shift) because photon wavelength is dictated by the semiconductor's energy gap via band gap radiative recombination. Therefore, wavelength decreases, rather than increased thermal load or radiative shutdown.
